I would get that 580, tasty card. Mail me the free batman if you want

Are you running a massive multi-screen setup? If not you won't be needing the massive V-RAM that comes with both of those EVGA cards...

I am not running multi-screens but i am toying with the idea of getting another 5 screens when i get more funds.

They will be used for gaming also trying to get high to ultra settings.

Welcome to recommend me a card.

Dont go 6 screen setup for your wallet and your games sake.

That 580 + 3 screen setup will run nicely.

Can you actually run more than 3 screens from SLI'd GTX 570's or 580's?

I thought the maximum was 3.

so the 580 is worth the extra money over the 570 and the multi-screen will be in the future prob some time mid till end of next year, so got some time to wait.

OK.

Just remember that if you do ever want to use 3 screens you need SLI'd GTX 570's or 580's.

A single one of those cards can't run 3 screens.

That's ok then...nothing to worry about on CPU or PSU then. But if you do plan on going SLI in the future, you'd best get at least a 850W PSU.

Thanks for the advise again this forum is so helpful all i need to know now is which card out of the 3 do you think is best for price and performance that will last about 4 years.
